Boston Airport Workbench Fix - Full Settlement Workbench

Boston Airport Settlement Workshop Fix! By jdb1776 for Nexus

---- Intro: Greetings Wastelanders! This mod aims to fix an interesting issue I just ran into today, surprisingly I missed it in the first two playthroughs lol! Boston Airport is available as a settlement in the game (I think only if you become aligned with the BoS??), but it’s weird… You cannot plant any food despite there being a little bit of dirt in the back corner, you cannot set up a radio beacon, can’t set up Stores, and cannot really do much of anything there. You might have 1 settler there, the BoS companion, but nothing else is really going on there. Honestly it feels unfinished, like Bethesda meant to finish some things and who knows, maybe the guy that was supposed to code that settlement said screw it or fell asleep for 5 years. For one reason or another, Bethesda stuck a special Workbench just here, it’s a unique Boston Airport Workbench that is missing a bunch of the options! All the other settlements pretty much have the same full workbench, but this one has been limited.

So what?

So, we want the full proper Workbench right? Because why not? Well, there may be a reason to Beth’s madness, the cell is already really crowded with over 300 references to NPCs and stuff. Starlight has like 20. So maybe why, is that if you built too much here it could really degrade performance and really clutter up the cell even more. Well alright, fair enough, if you’re playing FO4 on a Commodore then you might have real issues if you get to building like crazy. If you’ve got a high end build, you’ll be fine. I did get some FPS drops but nothing bad.

• Fixes:

Most importantly you obv need food! So my first attempt at a fix was to modify the simple Water Pump to produce food… Yeah I know, unrealistic but hey, I couldn’t have the bathtub making food. This works great, and I added a little Happiness bonus too. The Surgery Center has a 30 happiness boost, my modified Water Pump just has 25. Unsatisfied with this, I went back into the code and dug through the 300+ references, found the Workshop, and noticed it was UNIQUE for Boston Airport. Ohhh that’s why some stuff isn’t avail here. So I modified that reference to place a real full Workbench instead of the Boston Airport (limited) Workbench. This works excellent!So I present both options to you in the RAR download. You can do either or both!
